5/9/25 Sorry Mom!
The recent spring showers kept many fair-weather anglers away, but the dedicated ones still managed to catch some nice stripers, especially during the rainy nights. Bass fishing has been consistent along the beaches and in the breachways. We're seeing a lot of larger bass moving around the pond, sunning themselves during the day and feeding in the evenings. Fish are still ranging in size with the majority of fish still being schoolies.
The rain seemed to slow down the worm hatch a bit, with Wednesday night showing little activity. However, after yesterday's warm day, worms were spotted in several locations around the salt ponds. It's always surprising how things change night to night; just when you think you understand it, you realize you don't, which I think is part of why some of us are so drawn to fishing.
Fewer customers went out for tautog this week. They should continue to move closer to shore as the water warms up. Offshore water temperatures have just reached 50 degrees, while the pond temperatures hit the mid-60s this week. As a reminder female tautog can be full of eggs this time of year and is good sport to release them and keep the males.
We're also anticipating squid starting to appear along the south shore beaches this week. They are already being caught around Newport. Nothing better than fresh Calamari!
